Beauty is a leafy tree
And the gentle breeze that moves it
It's the swelling of a sapphire tide
As the graceful fish swim through it
Beauty is both common and rare
It goes right to the core
It lifts you up above the clouds
And leaves you wanting more
It's a gentle ray of sunshine
It's a smile that makes you weak
It's the pitter patter of raindrops
It's the words of love you speak
The most perfect beauty of all
Is raw and bare and bruised
It's the beauty when I close my eyes
And all I see is you.
Im always alone,
In the middle of the night, stoned
Dealing with the problem at hand,
Even when Im in bed with my man.
But that’s just me,
And the way its suppose to be.
They can all state what they will
“She needs a fucking pill”
They state that Im crazy and ill,
But Im not theirs to kill.
So it’s just me,
And I guess…..the way its suppose to be.
And no matter what they say,
He usually passes out anyway
And I just sit up and bleed,
He never even sees.
That’s just me,
And the way its suppose to be.
No matter who is there,
In the end no one cares,
It’s always too late at night
For them “so called friends”
To take the time.
So in the end it’s just me,
And that’s the way it will always b
I walked around in circles,
All in my head,
They call me crazy,
I call myself dead.
I can’t get the images out of my head,
All those things I see,
Put me in this bed.
I’m strapped down,
From my wrist to my feet,
All I can think is,
Oh God why can’t I just breath?
I have no place to call home
For sure now,
I’m all alone.
They took my soul,
Then threw it away,
I now know I shouldn’t have ever told them all the things I see,
Inside me they creep,
Man this time I’m in deep.
All the nightmares I have make me weary,
I can’t sleep,
So they give me a pill
I drift away with out a struggle,
My body goes numb,
I can’t fight it any longer.
I’m getting weaker by the hour,
My skin is sun deprived,
I no longer feel the hunger,
I no longer fight for my rights.
All I wanted was a little help,
To talk to some one who knew how it felt,
Bad luck is what I have,
should have left way back when
Because now its to late to be gone
I’m not crazy!!
I just never wanted to sleep,
I just wanted all the nightmares to go away,
Though now I just want to die
At first they put me in just a white room.
With absolutely nothing to do,
Believe me you would want to die too.
I found a piece of glass,
I could no longer fight the urge,
I started to give in to those things I saw,
I was red up and down head to toe,
But it wasn’t enough.
They found me so they say “just in time”
Though as I put it,
They found me before I had a chance to die.
So now I sit strapped all the way around,
They wired my mouth shut,
I no longer have a voice,
Because when I became desperate
I bit off my tongue,
Never had the chance to bleed to death.
Now I’ll admit,
I’m crazy with in,
It’s all because of them,
That I am what I am .
I was just a normal kid,
Just was a little worried with in,
Those things a saw scared every part of me,
Though it’s nothing like what they’ve done to me.
Will I ever be set free?
Please, please just let me be!
Do you see now why I want to leave?
See this is why I bleed
These things you’ve done is worst then I anyone can dream,
Its worst then those things I see.
You stupid hypocrites, you said “I can do this”
when indeed you cant
Now I’m crazy
Now, it will never be ok ever again.
You took my money and laughed out loud,
while I sit here and drown……
And I still see those things in my head……
Amongst the flowers I
am alone with my pot of wine
drinking by myself; then lifting
my cup I asked the moon
to drink with me, its reflection
and mine in the wine cup, just
the three of us; then I sigh
for the moon cannot drink,
and my shadow goes emptily along
with me never saying a word;
with no other friends here, I can
but use these two for company;
in the time of happiness, I
too must be happy with all
around me; I sit and sing
and it is as if the moon
accompanies me; then if I
dance, it is my shadow that
dances along with me; while
still not drunk, I am glad
to make the moon and my shadow
into friends, but then when
I have drunk too much, we
all part; yet these are
friends I can always count on
these who have no emotion
whatsoever; I hope that one day
we three will meet again,
deep in the Milky Way.
Have you ever seen a sheet on a river bed?
Or a single hair from a hammer's head?
Has the foot of a mountain any toes?
And is there a pair of garden hose?
Does the needle ever wink its eye?
Why doesn't the wing of a building fly?
Can you tickle the ribs of a parasol?
Or open the trunk of a tree at all?
Are the teeth of a rake ever going to bite?
Have the hands of a clock any left or right?
Can the garden plot be deep and dark?
And what is the sound of the birch's bark?
The love I bear you, dearest,
Would make the sweetest tale,
We'd sail upon a sea of bliss,
And I would lift the sail.
Our happiness would be sublime,
Surpassing tongue or pen.
You may as well learn things from me,
As to learn from other men.
"Oh! you have touched me - deeply,"
The young thing whispered low.
He pleaded: "Come! oh! come with me."
She could not answer: "No."
She said: "I'll be your pupil."
And softly added then:
"I may as well learn things from you
As to learn from other men."
They dined alone that evening,
And the young man got his wish.
They even broke the unwritten law
Of: "Never before zee fees."
At half-past three, next morning,
He staggered home again.
She had taught him tricks he never knew,
That she'd learned from other human.
We’ve all had times, when the going gets tough
The smooth ride suddenly, feels bumpy and rough
The good times are gone, it’s all rather gruff
You let out a sigh and exclaim – “I’ve had enough”
We are all entitled at times, to gripe and to moan
What’s happened to my life, you say with a groan?
My backpack seems weighed down, by a very big stone
How do I move away, from this miserable zone?
When a curved ball hits you, through a trick or a con
Remember the good days, when the sun always shone
Go forward with the belief, that you already have won
The best advice I can give, is to keep on - keeping on
